Chapter 1686 The Demonic Sky Vine


    The power released by each root was equal to that of a human cultivator who was at the medium stage


    of Bitter Sea Realm.


    It meant that this demonic tree was as strong as a Bitter Sea Realm cultivator of the medium stage.


    Austin maximized the use of his bodily movement skill to dodge the attacksing from the roots. He


    made a spin and suddenly he was holding a magnificent sword. He used this sword to cut off those


    roots.


    But soon Austin knew something was wrong. It seemed like the tree was capable of regenerating new


    roots.


    The moment he had severed a root, a new one would emerge. The more he killed the more roots


    would sprout from the ground. And they were getting more vicious by the minute.


    ''Bloody hell! Howe these roots kept multiplying, and they don''t seem to get tired? This is endless. I


    can''t finish them this way!


    Perhaps the roots will stop attacking me once I destroy this demonic tree, ''


    Austin thought.


    With this, he took a step backward and suddenly became invisible.


    The roots stopped and remained suspended in mid-air, unable to see their target.


    Austin walked towards the demonic tree silently. He was careful not to make any sounds. Since he was


    invisible and had hidden his aura, the tree could not detect him.


    As he reached the tree, he raised his sword and swung it towards the trunk.


    The human face on the trunk was suddenly filled with terror.


    Then something more astonishing happened before his eyes. The giant roots scampered back to the


    ground, and the demonic tree started to run like a terrified dog.


    ''The demonic tree is amazing. It can pull itself out from the ground and take off if it needs to, ''


    Austin remarked, staring nkly at the running tree.


    However the demonic tree could not outrun him after he activated his bodily movement skill.


    In a sh, he caught up with the tree and stabbed the trunk with the Infernal Sword.


    Boom!


    The demonic tree exploded and broke into pieces.


    Five spiritual crystals dropped in front of Austin.


    Austin collected the crystals and kept moving.


    Suddenly, the wind carried a special scent that lingered through Austin''s nose.


    Austin felt everything around him was spinning.


    Before long, he found that he was in a different ce.


    He was lying on a wooden bed inside a small, worn-out cottage.


    "Tin! You''re awake! Finally!"


    An over-weight teenager stood beside his bed and almost fell-over Austin in excitement. He stared at


    Austin with a bright smile sshed across his face.


    "Evan? Is that you?"


    Austin became more confused after he recognized the young man in front of him.


    ''What the hell? Did I just travel back in time? Why am I in my old quarters at the Sun Sect with Evan?


    It''s been several years since Matias knocked me on the head and turned me into an idiot. Why am I


    here?''


    Questions raced through Austin''s mind.


    "What happened to me, Evan?" Austin asked.


    He hit his head with his fist trying to shake off the confusion.


    "You were beaten up by Matias and has lost your consciousness for days. You don''t remember?


    Looks like your head wound is worse than I thought,"


    Evan replied.


    ''I was hit by Matias?'' Austin thought.


    ''''Something doesn''t sound right.


    While he was trying to figure out what was going on, a loud mockingugh reached his ears. "You


    finally came back to your senses, you idiot!" Matias said.


    He and ten other teenagers broke into Austin''s house. Matias was a notorious bully and a grunt disciple


    of the Sun Sect.


    "What are you doing here, Matias?"


    Surprised and frightened, Evan stood in front of the bed as if trying to hide Austin from Matias.


    "Ha-ha! I am here to send this fool back to his Creator," Matias replied smirking.


    Hispanions dragged Evan out of the hut, pulling him by his feet. After they were done beating him,


    they came back and charged towards Austin.


    Austin wanted to fight, but he could not move a single muscle in his body. He was still feeling dizzy and


    didn''t have the strength to defend himself.


    "Master! Wake up!"


    A gentle female voice resounded in Austin''s Soul Sea.


    It was Violet who was speaking.


    Her voice seemed to have worked some magic that it awakened Austin. Soon his memories came


    shing back.


    He shook his head to shake off his dizziness, and as he opened his eyes, he was back in the forest.


    A dozen white huge flowers surrounded him from all directions.


    "Shit! That was just an illusion!"


    Austin understood what had happened.


    Fooled by the illusion, he became furious. He rushed forward and shed the flowers with his sword. It


    only took him a few seconds to destroy all the demonic flowers.


    A few hundred spiritual crystals fell in front of him.


    The demonic flowers could match human cultivators at the preliminary stage of Bitter Sea Realm.


    "Master, you almost lost your life.


    This flower is called illusive flower. It gives off the scent that makes people hallucinate.


    Once a cultivator is hit by the scent, an illusion will swallow him.


    They cannote back to their senses until they are killed by the flowers,"


    Violet exined in Austin''s Soul Sea.


    Austin understood why he was affected by the visual hallucinations.


    ''I have strong spiritual sense, yet these flowers fooled me. It only means that the illusive flowers are


    incredibly powerful at illusions, '' he thought.


    As Austin continued his adventure into the forest, he came across a great variety of demonic nts.


    Some nts were as powerful as Bitter Sea Realm cultivators while the rest could match Divine Bridge


    Realm masters.


    Soon, he ran into a demonic tree with powers at par with a cultivator who had reached the premium


    stage of Divine Bridge Realm.


    Austin had a fierce battle with it. After an hour of fighting, he still could not defeat the demonic tree.


    Finally, he disyed the abnormal vision and destroyed it.


    After destroying the tree, he received a thousand spiritual crystals.


    He was quite happy with the reward.


    By the end of the day, he had wiped out over five hundred demonic nts.

    Total rewards he received was more than twenty thousand spiritual crystals.


    "I will refine some spiritual crystals before I continue with my adventure," Austin muttered.


    He turned up on a street after transporting himself into his City model.


    He took out all the spiritual crystals and released the spiritual tree.


    As the spiritual tree refined more spiritual crystals, the taller it grew and the stronger Austin''s spiritual


    sense became.


    The spiritual tree also became more powerful as it drew energy from the spiritual crystals. The more


    powerful it got, the faster it refined the spiritual crystals.


    Two hours passed.


    The spiritual tree had refined twenty thousand spiritual crystals in such a short time.


    It had grown over eight meters tall.


    Meanwhile, Austin''s spiritual sense had more than doubled.


    He got up and checked the power of his spiritual sense.


    He was quite satisfied with the result.


    ''Oh yeah! My spiritual sense has improved a lot since I entered the Spiritual Tower.


    I think I am now more powerful than most Minor-perfection Realm masters in terms of spiritual sense, ''


    he thought to himself.


    ''Ivy, Sue, wait for me. I will go to the South Mountain to get you back, ''


    Austin thought to himself.


    He became more confident after making big progress in his spiritual sense cultivation.


    The South Marine Saint who kidnapped Austin''s two fiancees was at the Minor-perfection Realm.


    Austin''s spiritual sense was now stronger than that of most Minor-perfection Realm cultivators.


    He was now strong enough to challenge South Marine Saint. With his current strength, South Marine


    Saint could not kill him, even if he couldn''t defeat her in a battle.


    ''I need to put down more demonic nts so I can get that demonic sky vine, ''


    Austin nned.


    He then transported himself out of the City model and continued to fight the demonic nts in the


    forest.


    Since his spiritual sense had improved a lot, he was more sensitive to his surroundings. He could react


    and moved faster.


    Austin had fought several battles during thest few days, and these helped him gain more powers and


    advanced his skills. His practical battle force had enhanced and be more unyielding.


    By the middle of the day, Austin had wiped out another five hundred demonic nts and got twenty


    thousand spiritual crystals.


    Out of the blue, a piece of information appeared in his Soul Sea.


    "Congrattions! You have destroyed a thousand demonic nts.


    You will be rewarded with a demonic sky vine.


    Just remember: after the demonic sky vine merges with a cultivator''s body, it will feed on the energy


    inside him; it will grow as the cultivator bes stronger."


    After Austin went through the information, a purple demonic sky vine with dozens of immense vines


    showed up before his eyes.


    "So this is the demonic sky vine?"


    Austin eximed in delight.


    Before he could have a closer look at it, it flew inside him and merged with him.
